Greeting from the "Great North Woods of Lake Superior" MI

I am a lover of tobacco and tobacco pipes, I like the history, the tradition and for the most part most pipe smokers are easy to get along with. I am the Chief of Irish Clan "Mac Giolla Easpaig" or Clan Gillespie with members on five continents. What started as a Clan Project has turned into a great love for myself and several other members, making hand crafted pipes. I own a small shop and offer pipe restoration, cleaning and repairs to locals and by mail. I appreciate being allowed to join this elite group of pipers and hope to learn much.
